University Entry Preparation Program for Translating & Interpreting (TIPP) Our
Having completed the Translation and Interpreting Preparation Program (TIPP) at CME, I realise how useful the skills I developed in the TIPP program are in my current studies in the Master of Translation and Interpreting Degree at Macquarie University. In particular, the note-taking activities, making presentations and pronunciation practice I did in the TIPP class are very helpful in my Masters program. At CME my teachers’ detailed feedback on my writing has also helped me to be much more accurate in my written assignments. I very much enjoyed studying with great teachers and great classmates at CME on the beautiful Macquarie University campus!
